Ingredients
 

  • 8 cups water
  • 8 oz shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions
 

  • Heat the water to just before boiling, the water should be hot, but not scalding.
  • Place the coconut into a blender, and add the hot water. Allow the mixture to sit for ten minutes to cool slightly.
  • Blend on high for several minutes until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
  • Pour the coconut milk through a mesh strainer, nut bag or cheese cloth

Notes

Store in the refrigerator or freeze in ice cube trays. Use within 3-4 days or within 3 months if frozen. The “cream” of the coconut may separate to the top, this is normal, simply shake the container or stir before using.
